Whitefish’s skiing heritage can be traced to the Depression-poor days of the late ’20s and ’30s, when pioneers like Lloyd “Mully” Muldown and the Hell-Roaring Ski Club skinned up to the summit on wooden planks through waist-deep snow. The rugged group built a road and a couple of cabins and stayed there for days at a time, keeping warm around wood-burning stoves, just to claim fresh tracks on the anonymous hill overlooking their little logging town.
Today, Whitefish Mountain Resort remains a place for skiers and snowboarders of all stripes to escape the crowds and the hassles of everyday life. Come on up to enjoy the slopes and connect with friends and family in an unhurried, easygoing atmosphere.
